Having a startup is fine and dandy, but it seems that many startups have a "I am a internet startup and it should catch on like wildfire" attitude. Without good marketing and a way to get customers to stay, then they will fail. I use several different stores from the internet to media play for my DVD needs, because of better pricing or gaining points. Media Play has my paperback novel business due to the FREE program to get a free novell after buying 10 of them. Waldenbooks had a free scifi club back in the late 80/early 90's, but then they started to charge for it.
Startups need to learn from the larger stores on what it takes to make and keep customers. I know several older people that swear by Sears, which currently seems to hire sales people with lack of brains sometimes (like Best buy, Compusa).
1). Why does every damn politician want to have the federal government do everything for the people. That is not the role of the government and nor should it become it's role. We do not live in a communist or socialist state, but in the land of freedom and liberty.
2). Who would maintain our country from becoming part of a global government? Globalization would destroy what our government is about and if the U.N. is a example of what globalization would be about, then may god have mercy on the U.S. with the smaller nations tearing us apart.
3). The right for us to bear arms is to protect the individual and allow for the people to throw out the corrupt government that has no longer following the constitution and the people. Unfortunely our current government treatment of land and personal rights seem to be afronted every year more and more. Why should the government fear it's citizens if it has been truly looking out for them? Is it that power brokers and big business have influenced our government to pass laws and carry out a program of action that has threatened the liberty and freedom of the individuals? Who would repeal those laws?
4). The military has been beaten up and sent around the world in pointless U.N. missions. These police actions under control of a third party that does not agree what the U.S. stands for and we should withdrawl from the organization as well as ignore their demands for changes to our government and people. We should specialize and rebuild the military's morale, since this Political correctiness has weaken our military and our society. The U.S. should do our own operation for our interests and force the rest of the world to work with us or go else where. Who would be willing to strengthen our military and prevent their use in police actions abroad or internally?
5). Politics and those who live in the arena seem to be acting against the wishes of the people very much like in ancient rome's senate. I believe that every politician should be limited in how many terms they are allowed, but with like them to be forced to have to rotate terms to prevent influence gathering over time as bad. Politicians in the U.S and abroad have proven their untrustworthiness over and over with a seeming goal of gain personal power, then truly serving the people. The entire system needs to be corrected and changed, so that the constitution and the people are served well. Who would be willing to force a radical change against corruption and abuse of the law? I am tired that the subject gets buried in the mud every year in congress.
6). Federal budgeting needs to handled properly with a tight fisted controller to ensure that funds are properly spend on what has been authorized. The departments get so much money and if they don't spend it all, then they lose the money next year. This causes huge unnecessary spending and possible one of the reasons that we so deep in the hole!! Who would be willing to change this to force that unspend money is not thrown in the wind and not returned to the people as being over taxed?
Just a few issues I have with our federal government and the lack of back boned state government that don't protect their right by the constitution and gaining anything not given to the federal government!
Just shows what the communism does to a country after falling due to draining the country's resources like a locust plague for their militarization against the west. The biggest problem was that they did not get rid of the old communist politial bosses out of power to allow a real economy to replace the patchwork now. Putin is a Stalin wannabie, but does not match up with that criminal leader. Unity through the grave is not a government slated to latest beyond the leader.
It does not surprise me that your having trouble send to russia your package, but I expect with in 5-15 years that russia will fall completely after they are living in early 20th conditions. It is a shame that the russian is unable to kill the communist stigma and become a responsible to their people after the huge mismanagement by the old government.
Unfortunely, American have a right to be assholes and idiots. Freedom is more important, then safety. This Wave Program seems to be a page out of the play book of the Nazi's. The Hitler Youth had a very similar program and it had extreme chance for abuse and help foster a police state. The slow attack of the socialists, globalists and communists in this country at the freedoms and liberty is a danger to american life and long-term stability. It is a shame at the power we have allowed our government to take from the states and the people.
Really it would be more interesting to see a special oscar edition of South Park;) I'm sure they could insult everyone in say 15 minutes. The Oscars have always been too "political" for the movie studios and many movies/actors that should have gained an oscar did not.
